How Enterprises Can Protect Against Litigation Threats With The Right Risk Management

Sentry Insurance’s 2026 C-Suite Stress Index says litigation has become a boardroom issue, with executives citing higher insurance costs, diverted management attention and added staffing needs. The survey found 53% of large business executives say litigation increased coverage costs, 45% say it diverted managerial focus and 76% see $10 million-plus nuclear verdicts as a problem. The company says rising verdicts and third-party litigation funding are helping push premiums higher.
